Slow Cooker Vintage Ham and Potato Dinner

August 15, 2016 by Sarah Olson 24 Comments

Slow Cooker Vintage Ham and Potato Dinner is stick to your ribs good! Smoky ham, potatoes and green beans in a cheesy sauce, what could be better?

Slow Cooker Vintage Ham and Potato Dinner

Hi all! Welcome to another edition of Slow Cooker Vintage Recipe of the month. I found this recipe in my Amish-Country Cookbook. The version in the cookbook for this recipe wasn’t a crock pot recipe, but I easily converted it to the slow cooker. I love looking through my old cookbooks and finding recipes that can be altered a bit to be made in the slow cooker. This one does great. There is plenty of cheesy sauce to keep everything moist. The six hours of cooking time melds all the flavors together, you can taste the smoky ham in the sauce. Also the potatoes get fork tender, and the ham even gets tender too.

    My family has been making what you call Ham and Potato dinner for hears. However, we use real finely diced red or yellow onion; 2 cups of 100% milk or half and half and 3 tablespoons butter. This is turned into a casserole dish and nuked in the microwave for 45 minutes. Or you can do 30 minutes in the microwave and 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. I don’t have a problem cooking this in the crock pot but using Cream of Chicken soup – you have got to be kidding – yick. That ruins this dish.

      I understand some do not like cream of chicken. My family loves it, if you don’t make your own substitutions.

        Not a problem. One other question – why do you show using real onions in your video and then use onion powder in the recipe? Curious. Kathi

          The onion powder is used in the soup/milk mixture and the real onions are tossed in with everything else.

            At what temp and how long would you cook this if you were to do in oven?

    If I want to double the ingredients, would I have to increase the time and how much if I did? This looks so good.

      I think an hour more if you were to double. Definitely keep the lid on during the cooking time!

    I love Sarah Olsen’s way because of the cream of chicken soup. Thank you for sharing your ideas. For you “analytical readers,” keep your opinions silent and just eat!

          I’m making it now with cream of celery soup and corn instead of the cream of chicken and green beans. Hope it turns out well!
